PYLE PFA200 - Home Mini Audio Amplifier - 60W Portable Dual Channel Surround Sound HiFi Stereo Receiver w/ 12V AC Adapter, AUX, MIC IN, Supports Smart Phone, iPhone, iPod, MP3 For 2-8ohm Speakers

I got this to replace a dying amp for something small and cheap. I didn't need anything terribly high end or expensive, but I did need something with good quality sound and a low noise floor because I sit close to the speakers it powers. I first tried something more generic thinking with modern amplifiers it surely would be fine for just this much since this isn't exactly hifi equipment, but the noise floor on the cheap one was so high that the constant noise was driving me crazy. This Pyle amplifier, on the other hand, is so quiet even when turned all the way up that I have to move my head closer to the speakers to even hear the sound. Just as importantly, the actual sound quality is just great. Definitely better than the others in this sort of price range I think. When tone control is turned off, it's very clear and accurate with great detail. The tone control seems to be less bad than in most things too, though I never quite found exactly the right balance. (Something like 2/3rds on each dial to get close to neutral, then just bump up or lower slightly from there.) As with most, it's still best with tone control off, but with it on it really isn't as bad as I expected. I'm grateful that they included a switch to turn it off. Most don't these days.

Powerful, yet small. Boost bass to a new level.
